When on one palr•of hands, one pair of
feet and one bran depends the smooth run
wing of the howeebold machinery, it is not
surprising that the motor power is soon con-
sumed and consigned to retirement in the

effort to realize that proverb is what is doing
all the mischief.
One hundred years from now it will make
no difference to your present neighbor
whether you (fid your work by a cast-iron
system or whether' you kept everything fa
appls.pie order. But, dear mother, it will
make et difference to the future generations
descending from you.
It is a mother s first duty to take the
best care of which she is capable of her
health. If she cannot do this and do her
work according to her standard, she should
care for herself first and let the work be of
secondary importauce. Her life is gives

usefulness and the tr11inen9) of her children.
For the farmer's wife there is always an
excess of work, but by careful management
and by the employment of labor-saving in-
ventions, the additional cost of which will
be buts few dollar8, many a restful bout
will be found that would otherwise have
been en utter intpposslbility. 11 however, the
dollars aro not fortllcoming with which to
purchase the luxurious utonsils,it naturally
follows that you must do the next best
thing—bring constant thought to bear on
your work and you will soon Bud many
ways to alleviate the toil attending 11ou0e-
kepiug and kitchen work. For' example, in
the every -day work of preparing vegetables
for dinner, It is far lees fatiguing to sit than
to stand. Have for the purpose a rather
high stool,
When preparing a meal it will facilitate
dishwashing if water' is poured into the
000king utensils immediately utter the con-
tente hove been removed. If the vessels are
very greasy, add a little oonceutrated lye,
pearline or soda.
A homemade dish -drainer is very use-
ful, and one is very easily made from a
leaky tin pan of convenient size, by punctur-
ing a number of small holes in the bottom
with an awl.
If there is no sewer loading from the
kitchen sink, it will save the housewife
many steps if the swill -pails are brought
inside. They should be nicely painted, and
a piece of oil -cloth provided to set them
on,
The kitchen and pantry floors, if une0rpet-
ed, should be painted some pretty, light
color; yellow or pink are colors will show
Boiling least. The dark shades are not ad-
visable. If you cannot conveniently get
the paint, two coats of linseed -oil will more
than ropey you for the small outlay ; be-
sides, it will preserve your floors. It seems
wrong to wear yourself out scrubbing when
oil and paint are so cheap. An article
worth ninny times its cost to the overwork-
ed housewife, yet often condemned under
the false impression that it is injurious to
earpets, is the carpet -sweeper, Many house-
wives sweep daily with the broom when the
use of a carpet -sweeper would render a
thorough sweeping neeess'1ry but once a
week.
Every housewife knows low much hard
work is involved fu the washing of bed-
clothes, but everyone may not know that a
deep fading of some dark calico applied to
the ends of comforts and quilts makes so
much work unnecessary. The facing may
be removed and washed and returned to its.
place. A day or two o! good airing will
purify the comforts.
A slip of cheese -cloth or muslin over the
feather -bed or mattresas would save much
work, as it is easily removed when soiled.
The watchful, intelligent mother willfind
many ways to lighten her burden, and where
an article seems really necessary to her
preservation, it seems little short of cruelty
to deprive her of it. tier eity sisters,
though they may not possess one tenth as
much of tine world's goods as does she, are
not slow to procure the things that will
make life more pleasurable and easy. I know
from observation that the dread of parting
with a few dollars iee the cause of many
farmers' wives leading lives that are very
closely allied to slavery. Dear mothers,
this is all wrong. If you can afford it, get
what will make life less wearying. Save
your health and disposition for something
higher. Don't get into the wily of letting
your work meter you and so derive your-
self of life's best blessing—health.

At the Manitoba farm a large number of
experiments have been carried on with
wheat, barley, oats, rye and peas ; also
with Dorn, roots and 'nixed fodder crops in
order to ascertain which were likely to be
most useful and profitable for the farmers of
that province. Speoial attention had been
paid to those varieties of grain whioh ripen
early. Successful efforts had also been
made to solve the problem of winter food for
stock. In the earlier history of the country,
when settle nent was verse and cattle few,
there was an abundance of wild hay to be
had almost for the nutting. Now all this
was changed. Cattle had increased enor-
mously, the land wa8 fast being taken up,
and farmers must now, in most instances,
produce on their own farms the food neces-
sary to sustaietheir stock during the win.

ing crops varying from 3e to 3 tons of our -
ed. fodder. The best yield obtained at the
Brandon, farm in 1890 was with a miebere
of oats and peas, sown after roofs, which
gave 3 tons and 1,669 pounds of cured hay
to the acre. During the past season,
1891, other mixtures did still better.
One of eight peeks of black Tar•
t arien oats, with four pecks of Prince
Albert peas gave 13 tons and 275 pounds of
green fodder, which, when oared as hay,
weighted 4 tons and 1,675 pounds. A mix-
ture of eight peeks of blackT.artarian oats
and four pocks of large English tares gave
the still heavier crop of 13 tons 650 pounds
of green fodder, and five tons 510 pounds of
cured hay. Experiments have also boon
made in methods of treating the soil by
summer fallowing, fall and spring plough-
ing, in seeding 1t at different depths and

how very variable the results were, even on
the same farm on different pieces of land
varying in condition as to fertility and fit-
ness for the brod, and fitness for the crop.
and how unsafe it is to draw conclusions
from single experiments. Such results serve
to indicate the importance of the work be-
ing carried on in Ottawa. Samples of three
pounds eaoll are being distributed freely
amongst the farmers for testing. In this
way were scoured the results of the yield on
all sorts of soils, and the average of these
was a good guide. Since 1887 nearly 29,000
samples have been sent out.
In wheat, barley and oats, special experi-
ments have parried on for the past four
years to pr0dtme new Dross -bred varieties.
From one kernel sown in the spring of 1889,
over 360,000 kernels were secured last year.
These weighed 32 pounds, or 63 pounds to
the bushel. At the Indian Head fain this
variety had not done as well as some others,
and the result of the tests pointed to the
fact theb some varieties were better suited
than others to certain districts, and the
necessity of trying all new sorts in all oli-,
mates and under many different oonditionso
In oats a number of tests had been made to

hull to the kernel. The proportion aver -

ter Prize White, bad only 21.67 per cent of

Prof. Saunders pointed out the advantage
of growing large peas on account of the
higher price. The field crops at the farm
had run the past year as follows : Crown,
47 bushels and 11 pounds ; Golden Vine,

30.13.
